Prologue - Echoes of the Crystal Past

Story 1: Capricorn's Failure

In the vast, immeasurable cosmos, galaxies and nebulas floated as jewels of a grand tapestry. Among these celestial wonders, age-old legends unfurled. Central to these tales was the Zodiac Council, celestial overseers whose charge was to govern realms and maintain a delicate balance between light and shadow.

Each galaxy told tales of this Council's prominence. Star clusters whispered their stories, planets sang their praises, and meteor showers danced in their honor. The Zodiac Council, as known today, was a descendant lineage. They were the 2nd generation, the children birthed from a mighty legacy. The forebearers, the original council, were known far and wide as the Crystal Council. More than just leaders, they were luminary figures, revered advisors to the reigning planet of the Crystal World, a luminous beacon in the boundless universe.

Legends tell that Leo and Pisces, guardians of time and fate, bore the sacred memories of this bygone era. They stood as testament, the final echoes of a golden age when the Crystal Council's word was law, witnesses to epochal events that had irrevocably reshaped the universe's fabric. The most harrowing of these events, spoken of in hushed reverence, was the Day of Auroura Anime Rebirth. It was a calamity of an unimaginable scale, so profound that the very dimensions themselves trembled.

Such was its impact that the once unified dimensions fractured. The Origin, previously the heart of the Crystal World, splintered violently into three divergent dimensions. Only the void dimension, mysterious and aloof, remained untouched and intact. The cataclysm was not just a rupture in space, but a severance from history, obliterating the familiar.

Yet, even in the shadow of such overwhelming desolation, a flicker of hope endured. The valiant survivor of the original council, Crystal Pisces, fueled by an undying spirit, took upon her shoulders the monumental task of restoration. She tenderly raised the offspring of her fallen comrades, imparting age-old wisdom, and preparing them to assume the mantle of guardianship. From these endeavors, the present-day Zodiac Council emerged, built atop the remnants of a once grand civilization, now relegated to the annals of legend.

Prominent among them was Capricorn, the steadfast Goat Guardian. He was an epitome of celestial grandeur, standing tall with majestic curled horns that rivalled spiral galaxies. His shimmering blue-grey coat mirrored the infinite expanse of starry skies. His hooves, deeply rooted in tradition, bore the weight of countless constellations. The depths of his introspective eyes, often lost in thought, were always in pursuit of cosmic truths.

It wasn't just Capricorn's imposing stature that drew attention. At his core, he was defined by unwavering loyalty and unmatched dedication. Rarely was he swayed by fleeting distractions; his legendary stubbornness was matched only by his insurmountable sense of duty. The stars, in their ethereal glow, often wove tales of his relentless determination, tales that planets would softly share with their loyal moons.

This council, in their celestial wisdom, had entrusted each member with realms and beings to shepherd. For Capricorn, his charge was the Phants of Planet SoleStar. Their bond was one of mutual respect and profound connection. The evolutionary journey of the Phants, from simple beginnings to the enlightened beings they had blossomed into, was a testament to Capricorn's guiding hand and protective aura.

It was during a routine sojourn to SoleStar that Capricorn's fate took a dramatic turn. An ancient Phant sage, weathered by time, recited haunting lines from a prophecy buried in antiquity. The weight of its words sent an uncharacteristic shiver down even Capricorn's formidable spine. Recognizing the gravity of its implications, he felt an overwhelming urge to decipher its riddles. The prophecy hinted at an impending cosmic imbalance, threatening to unhinge the universe's equilibrium.

Filled with a determination only he possessed, Capricorn knew he must sound the alarm to the Zodiac Council. Facing the monumental task of confronting peers bound by tradition, and battling a history fading into obscurity, he approached the grand hall. His heart, steadfast and resolute, was ready to champion the cause for all he cherished.
